We were unable to get in an
account of the concert given by
the Caldwell Presbyterian Society
on the 18th inst, last week, and it
is now to stale too give it the notice
it deserved. The program which
was published in THE TRIBUNE was
carried out to the letter. Mr.. Geo.
Cornwall, who was to preside at the
piano, was unable to be here, but
his place was ably filled by Miss
Warrington, of Boise, who kindly
consented to play, and to whom the
sincere thanks of the society are
due. The singing was good, and
the recitation by Miss Julia Cooper
brought down the house. Mother
Jarley's wax figures are still wound
up and may be seen on our streets
most any day-"mere blockheads,
every one of them" The receipts
were about $25. We understand
the society will give another enter
tainment in the near future.
1t is said that every action of
life contains a beautiful moral;
that by watching the actions of
others we may ourselves avoid
many of the pitfalls of this wicked
word, and steer into the straight
and narrow way. No better exam
pie of this fact can be given than
three misguided Caldwell youths.
When the spirit of their loneliness
weighed heavily upon their brows,
instead of bowling at the shrine of
some of the fair susceptible Cald-
well beauties, they wandered into
strange lands after strange gods.
We will not give an account their
wanderings after the coveted treas
ure, but will say that the Prod
igal Son had a picnic in COMPARE
son with them. They have now all
returned-the last one getting in
Thursday morning-weary, foot
sore and heart broken. Baker and
Roberts were making preparations
to do likewise, but the awful exam
pie changed their minds.
Buy your goods of home mer-
chants. Do not patronize every
travelling humbug that comes
through town with a snide lot of
cheap auction goods, probably
manufactured in some filthy tene-
nent house where small pox, scarlet
ever, and other contagious diseases
lold absolute sway, just because
lie offers them a few cents cheaper .
han reliable merchants sell relia- 6
lie goods. Such men do nothing ;
oward building up a town. Their !
ole object is to dispose of their {
Cheap John" goods and then fold
heir tent and steal quietly away, 9
ust about the time their patrons {
nd out that they have been igno-
ly bilked. Always give the home
your trade for your in
srests are identical, but don't for
oodness sake allow some auction r
end or wandering Jew to carry b
our broad silver shekels away. \
When man comes into a town with =
few dry goods in his trunk and c.
tarts temporary store, sells few II
oods and then moves on, it is very h
vident that there is screw loose b
,mewhere, and it dosen't take 4
bod horse sense very long to find q
out. Some people find it essen T
